At Bürkert, we are incredibly excited about the new levels of flow measurement accuracy, reliability and hygiene that we have achieved with our FLOWave surface acoustic waves sensor. There are many reasons that we are excited by this innovation. Here are 10 of the best reasons to choose the Bürkert FLOWave.

1. Compact and lightweight – The compact design and low weight of the Bürkert FLOWave offer an altogether lean system design, suitable for when space is at an absolute premium.

3. Highest standards of hygiene – The transmitter, and the entire sensor (including measuring tube), fulfil the highest standards of hygiene, making FLOWave ideal for the pharmaceutical, food, beverage and cosmetic applications.

4. Zero components – There are no components inside FLOWave’s measurement tube, so the liquid only comes into contact with the stainless steel tube. As such, there are no constrictions or dead flow zones in the measuring tube.

5. Easy installation – Thanks to its compact, modular design, FLOWave offers easy installation. Sensor selection is also simplified, as it is mainly limited to the size of the tube and the required type of process connection.

6. Cost-efficient – Because of this surface acoustic wave sensor’s minimal number of parts, it requires zero maintenance; offering increased cost savings over its operational life cycle.

7. No restrictions – FLOWave can be operated without restrictions in horizontal and vertical positions, and works with non-flowing liquids, producing fluid flow measurements even in minimal flow rates. Plant vibrations and magnetic or electric forces also do not affect measurements.

8. Industry 4.0 ready &shy;– The transmitter is based on our Efficient Device Integration Platform (EDIP), which has been designed specifically for Industry 4.0, and comprises numerous functions and cross-device user interfaces.

9. Precision measurement – Bürkert FLOWave measures volumetric flow rate to a precision of 0.4 % of reading. Furthermore, temperature measurement is included as standard, with a precision of £1°C.
